[. . . ] TERRATEC PRODUCER/SINE WARP 9 English Manual Version 1. 0, last revised: November 2003 CE Declaration We: TerraTec Electronic GmbH, Herrenpfad 38, D-41334 Nettetal, Germany hereby declare that the product: TerraTec Producer SINE WARP 9, to which this declaration refers is in compliance with the following standards or standardizing documents: 1. EN 55020 The following are the stipulated operating and environmental conditions for said compliance: residential, business and commercial environments and small-company environments. This declaration is based on: Test report(s) of the EMC testing laboratory The information in this document is subject to change without notice and shall not be deemed as a warranty by the seller. No warranties, express or implied, are made with regard to the quality, suitability or accuracy of this document. [. . . ] Very short delay, attack and decay times result in a very high repeat frequency, resulting in an effect similar to a ring modulator. Example: Delay, Attack at minimum, Sustain 50% 14 SINE WARP 9 (English) n DLM (Delay-LFO Modulation) In this mode, each trigger signal after Trigg Source triggers the envelope, but the decay time changes depending on the current LFO value. The effect on the decay times depends on the position of the Decay control. Positions near the minimum and maximum values are especially effective. Range 1: Increasing (decreasing) LFO values cause the decay to increase (decrease). The closer the control is to the MIN position, the shorter the overall decay time. Range 2: Depending on the current LFO value, the device switches between maximum (high LFO value) and minimum decay time (low LFO value). The closer the control is to the MAX position, the more prevalent minimal decay times will be. Example: Range 1, triangle LFO, Delay, Attack, Sustain and Release minimum SINE WARP 9 (English) 15 n LT (LFO trigger) A trigger signal will only activate the envelope if the current LFO value is greater than 50%. Example: triangle LFO, Delay, Attack, Sustain and Release minimum n RD (Retrigger Delay) At the beginning of the trigger activation, the envelope is initially triggered without delay (start of the attack phase). After the delay time from the start of the trigger has elapsed, the envelope is triggered again, provided the trigger is still active. The envelope will only be triggered once if the trigger pulse is shorter than the delay time. 16 SINE WARP 9 (English) 2. 4 VCA Modulation (VCA Mode) The following diagram shows the various VCA modulation options: n ENV The envelope voltage controls the volume of the VCA. The Trigger Source and ENV Mode parameters must also be taken into consideration here. n Gate An active trigger signal after Trigger Source activates the VCA; if no trigger signal has been applied, the VCA is muted. The ENV/Gate/On VCA control signals can be influenced with controller 113 to increase or decrease the volume of the VCA. Valid controller values range from 0 (VCA mute) to 127 (maximum VCA volume). Please note that the VCA is always mute in Gate or ENV mode (if no trigger signal has been applied or the envelope has not been triggered). Only an active gate signal or a triggered envelope can be influenced by the controller. SINE WARP 9 (English) 17 2. 5 LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) The LFO modulates the cutoff frequency. It has the parameters LFO Rate, LFO Depth, LFO Wave and LFO Reset which can be adjusted using the appropriate controls under Modulation 1. n LFO Rate Speed of the LFO with an adjustable frequency from 0. 01 Hz to 10 Hz n LFO Depth Intensity with which the LFO modulates the cutoff frequency (0 to maximum) n LFO Wave Selection of possible waveforms. In addition to "traditional" waveforms such as square wave, triangle, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth and random, waveforms are also available that can be manipulated by incoming trigger signals. In this case this means restarting the LFO, starting at the lowest value. Resets can be triggered via the MIDI clock, Note On messages or Control Change messages. [. . . ] The parameter will not take on the value shown by the control knob until you move the knob. An example: suppose you have chosen Select 2 and set the Attack value to minimum. If you go back to Select 2, the control knob will be set to maximum, but the Attack value will still be at minimum. If you now move the control knob, the Attack value will change to the current position of the control knob. [. . . ]
